Trouble in the Peace Congress. An unexpected sensation was created at one of the sessions of tho Peace Con Congress - gress Congress at Loudon, by Sir H De Burg Law Law-son, - son, Law-son, who occupied the chair. In his ad address - dress address he startled everybody by declaring that he was opposed to prayer at the open opening - ing opening of the sittings of the congress and he proceeded to give his reasons, causing no end of discomfort among the clergymen and religious people present "Religion, " bo continued, "teaches us to love our enemies. Now, the first thing a purcnt does is to place the eldest boy in the army, where he is taught to run his enemies through." The speaker went through a series of similar arguments and drew the conclusion, therefore, tnat either religion or Its expounders were a failure. It may bo remembered that Sir H. De B. Lawron recently paid 10,000 in a breach of promise suit. The SI. Jame Gazette sneers at tha peace Congress, which it regards as a gathering of fossilized philanthropists whose ideas are as impracticable as they are obsolete. While Mr. Field and his follow reformors are endeavoring to beat swords into plow-shares, it would be well for thorn to take cognizance of the patent fact that tho tariff bill now uuder consid consideration - eration consideration iu the American Congress typifies a most barbarous form o'. war, in that it assails not urmie-s but bornes.

tour trains six times a week, one way, al convey on an average of about 200 passen passengers - gers passengers of all classes, one way," He figures that one train each way on each road would handle the whole business and save t-,MO,8iO in train expenses. By doubling the number of trains la or order - der order to better accommodate local trafilo, still 1,3C4,10 would bo saved, a goodly share of which might be divided with the public in the way of cheaper fares. It now costs f 00 to take a passenger train between Chicago and Omaha aud return. The same figures and waste apply between Chicago and Kansas City as they do to St Paul, except that the cost of ruuning the train is about 700. Also the same figures apply on tho freight business, except that it costs more to run an average freight train than a passenger train. By combination tbe roads could entirely do. away with such espenses as outside agencies and miscellaneous advertising. It coats he prominent roads in the West

To give a free market to this Immense product of the Spanish planta plantations - tions plantations at the moment Spain is excluding the products of American farms from her market would be a policy as unprecedented as it would be unwise.

The aggregate balance of trade with all Latin-America is heavily against the United States. A single illustration will suffice.
